Changelog
This changelog lists only the most important changes. Smaller (bug)fixes as well as non-mature features are not part of the changelog. The releases of major and minor versions contain an overview of changes since the last major/minor update.
Version 1.6.x
Version 1.6.4 (20xx/xx)
- Added support for model checking LTL properties in the sparse (and dd-to-sparse) engine. Requires building with Spot.
- Added cmake options
STORM_USE_SPOT_SYSTEM
andSTORM_USE_SPOT_SHIPPED
to facilitate building Storm with Spot. - Improved parsing of formulas in PRISM-style syntax.
- Added export of schedulers that use memory (in particular optimizing schedulers for LTL properties)
- Added support for PRISM models that use unbounded integer variables.
- Added an export of check results to json. Use
--exportresult
in the command line interface. - Added computation of steady state probabilities for DTMC/CTMC in the sparse engine. Use
--steadystate
in the command line interface. - Implemented parsing and model building of Stochastic multiplayer games (SMGs) in the PRISM language. No model checking implemented (yet).
- API: Simulation of prism-models
- API: Model-builder takes a callback function to prevent extension of particular actions, prism-to-explicit mapping can be exported
- API: Export of dice-formatted expressions
- Prism-language/explicit builder: Allow action names in commands writing to global variables if these (clearly) do not conflict with assignments of synchronizing commads.
- Prism-language: n-ary predicates are supported (e.g., ExactlyOneOf)
- Added support for continuous integration with Github Actions.
storm-pars
: Exploit monotonicity for computing extremal values and parameter space partitioning.
Version 1.6.3 (2020/11)
- Added support for multi-objective model checking of long-run average objectives including mixtures with other kinds of objectives.
- Added support for generating optimal schedulers for globally formulae.
- Simulator supports exact arithmetic.
- Added switch
--no-simplify
to disable simplification of PRISM programs (which sometimes costs a bit of time on extremely large inputs). - Fixed issues with JANI inputs concerning .
- transient variable expressions in properties,
- constants in properties, and
- integer variables with either only an upper or only a lower bound.
storm-pomdp
: States can be labelled with values for observable predicates.storm-pomdp

cudd
tosylvan
. The Dd library can be changed back tocudd
using the command line switch--ddlib
. - Scheduler export: Properly handle models with end components. Added export in
.json
format. - CMake: Search for Gurobi prefers new versions.
- CMake: We no longer ship xerces-c. If xerces-c is not found on the system, storm-gspn will not be able to parse xml-based GSPN formats.
- CMake: Added option
STORM_LOAD_QVBS
to automatically download the quantitative verification benchmark set. - Eigen library: The source code of Eigen is no longer included but downloaded from an external repository instead. Incremented Eigen version to 3.3.7 which fixes a compilation issue with recent XCode versions.

storm-counterexamples
: fix when computing multiple counterexamples in debug mode.storm-dft
: Renamed setting--show-dft-stats
todft-statistics
and added approximation information to statistics.storm-pomdp
: Implemented approximation algorithms that explore (a discritization of) the belief MDP, allowing to compute safe lower- and upper bounds for a given property.storm-pomdp
: Implemented almost-sure reachability computations: graph-based, one-shot SAT-based, and iterative SAT-based.- `storm-pomdp': Various changes such that transformation to pMCs is now again supported (and improved).

Version 1.5.x
Version 1.5.1 (2020/03)
- Jani models are now parsed using exact arithmetic.
Version 1.5.0 (2020/03)
- Added portfolio engine which picks a good engine (among other settings) based on features of the symbolic input.
- Abort of Storm (via timeout or CTRL+C for example) is now gracefully handled. After an abort signal the program waits some seconds to output the result computed so far and terminates afterwards. A second signal immediately terminates the program.
- Setting
--engine dd-to-sparse --bisimulation
now triggers extracting the sparse bisimulation quotient. - JIT model building is now invoked via
--engine jit
(instead of--jit
). - DRN: support import of choice labelling.

--build:buildchoiceorig
to build a model (PRISM or JANI) with choice origins (which are exported with, e.g.--exportscheduler
). - Implemented optimistic value iteration for sound computations and set it as new default in
--sound
mode. - Time bounded properties for Markov automata are now computed with relative precision. Use
--absolute
for the previous behavior. - Apply the maximum progress assumption while building a Markov automaton with one of the symbolic engines.
- Added option
--build:nomaxprog
to disable applying the maximum progress assumption during model building (for Markov Automata). - Added hybrid engine for Markov Automata.
